Be sure to show your work, do your own work, and put your name and row letter on it and write legibly. If I can't read it, I can't grade it.
Do on your own paper- do not turn in any images.
1) What is the ecliptic?
2) What is the difference between a sidereal day and a solar (synodic) day?
3) What is the structure of the terrestrial planets? (Just list them.)
4) Is the above picture a gas, solid, or liquid surface? What clues tell you which is correct?
5) About how old is the surface in the above image? Assume it is about the size of Missouri.

8) What is the point of science? (Why do we do science?)
9) About how old is the surface in the above image? If you think the surface is less than 4 Gyrs, provide a process which has erased/covered craters.
10) Is the above picture a gas, solid, or liquid surface? What clues tell you which is correct?
11) The Earth-Moon system has been the same (rotation period, orbital period, distance between them) since they were formed? (True or false)
